INSTALLATION
Follow this sequence to insure your
phone will work properly.
• Install batteries (see “Installing
Batteries”).
• Reset the phone (see “Resetting
the Telephone” on Page 7).
• Make the phone connections (see
“Making the Connections” on
Page 7).
If your phone does not work, discon-
nect it from the phone line, remove the
batteries, then repeat the above
sequence.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your phone requires four AA batteries
(not supplied) to protect its memory.
For the best performance and longest
life, we recommend alkaline batteries,
such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of differ-
ent capacities.
• Never leave dead or weak batter-
ies in the phone.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly;
do not bury or burn them.
1. Remove the phone stand by
pressing the two tabs on the stand
then pulling it off.
2. Using a flat-blade screwdriver,
remove the battery compartment
cover’s screw on the bottom of the
phone and remove the cover.
3. Place four fresh AA batteries in
the battery compartment as indi-
cated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked inside.
